Topic: Unpopular opinion (Read 4349 times)

^Seconding that. I love Deresute and CG but I kind of don't like how the english-speaking fanbase became now.

Well....my unpopular opinion.Not sure if "unpopular" but I must say it's something that lowkey bothers me. I don't like it when Deresute-only fans calls Deresute/Cinderella Girls as "Idolmaster", as in "I play/love Idolmaster!" "Idolmaster girls" "I want Idolmaster to be localized" but they *only* meant Deresute, not Idolmaster in general, or even the core 765pro Imas. As if Deresute is the main and only Imas game. Hahah- Probably just me though. I'm trying to get used to it but it still bothers me at times.

(Also I've seen a person who literally called Deresute as "Idolmaster" but Mirishita as only "Theater Days" and really don't know how to feel about that...)

Same goes for me. It may sound petty, but it honestly gets on my nerves. And apart to being called “imas” as a whole, it also gets pretty annoying when they call Deresute as a whole “Cinderella Girls” and ignore (or directly don’t get informed about the existence of) the original game. As a Producer that has spend a lot of time in the original CG, it is pretty saddening for me to see that the Mobage gets ignored just because its not “muh rhythm game”, thing that tbh was what made Deresute & CG as a whole relevant, because I remember Love Live! players in Twitter criticizing the Mobage back when the anime aired & Deresute didn’t exist yet because “it wasn’t a rhythm game”. I get not everyone likes this types of “tap & wait” games (I myself don’t play other Mobages & GREE games outside of CG, SideM and ML!), but ignoring them is pretty saddening especially considering Deresute exists because of the original CG (obviously lol). I didn’t see this happen with Msute/SideM and Millitheater/ML! that much (just two or three times?), but with CG/Deresute it has arrived to a point that it has become so annoying for me. And like I said, it may sound petty, but that’s exactly how I feel.

Yeah agreeing with this, they should call deresute as it is or cgss but they keep calling it as idolmaster like it is the main branch of the series. Before deresute was release the fanbase was quite okay but now it became a cancerous fanbase.

Should also noted that the current CG popularity have destroyed the value of the original console game a.k.a PS making it a rhythm game with gacha and no communication with the idol like deresute.

Indeed. The fanbase was small compared to now, but it was nice and not toxic (basically like SideM’s and ML!’s fanbases for now), but now it has become a mess. And the part about the original games being destroyed is totally true. Platinum Stars seemed too much like it was trying to be your usual idol phone game but in console, and that’s exactly why it got the bad rep it has. Hopefully Stella Stage will change that.But hey! Not only did the CG popularity destroyed the games themselves, they also destroyed 765. I’ve seen Cinderella Girls fans (probably DeresutePs, as I have yet to encounter a pre-Deresute CG fan who hates 765) in game websites like Gematsu complaining about Stella Stage just because its “yet another 765 game, where’s my CG console game?!”. I honestly can’t believe they complain about CG not getting a console game when Deresute gets updated weekly, while for 765 games we need to wait months and even year(s) for them to release a new entry. Besides, Cinderella Girls’ cast is half unvoiced, if they want a CG game then why would they want the unvoiced girls to NOT be on it? They are also part of CG!

I really don't want a CG console game. As much as I love Syoko, CG has too many characters, and as my dad always says, a bigger cast is not a better cast. If people are so sick of the 765 Pro girls, then I'd like to see a game with some new idols...like for example I once had a dream that there was a game where you could produce Leon, Shiika, and 11 new female idols at 961 Production, however I doubt that would happen. Mostly because Leon's VA is super expensive and 961 is the antagonist of the franchise...it'd be like a Mario game where you play as Bowser (then again Wario DOES have his own spinoff series).

Looking at CG, they shouldn't make a console game out of this. Since the console game have always been 765 Pro, how much backlash will they get from 765 Pro fan. Sakagami won't just run from the stage at this development but out of Japan.

Large cast makes it harder to handle even the anime doesn't really show their relationship with each other but focusing their relationship with their own unit. The producer doesn't really play his role like it should be. Wondering how some of the CG anime watchers can said that CG anime is better than 765 Pro anime when the true aspect of idolmaster is not even there in CG anime. And it's also funny since this CG fans don't even play CG mobage but play dersute because mobage is card game but they went and buy CG viewing revolution that have no gameplay.

On another note Bamco should make a 961 Production game with a few new idol and producer that failed to produce the idol. After failing they all started fresh at a new company to get revenge on Kuroi.

IKR? 765's Producer had such a good relationship with all the girls and was a fleshed-out character. We call him Broducer for a reason. I loved how he would always go out of his way to help the girls with whatever they needed, and he's one of my favorite characters in the anime. CG Producer just feels so...detached.

If anything iDOLM@STER that gets officially localized in English/the west (more than Shiny festa's iOS port or the CG VR)...I hope it's not the mobile games, ahah. Sooo many people wanting Deresute to be localized solely to compete with Love Live... but to me, iDOLM@STER's (as a whole) true appeal is not their mobile games. That's why I want the console games to get localized first, if anything.

I would also love a main game to get localized but if we will only get another mobile one, I'm sureThe risk of money loss is to high for them to make a main console game I thinkalso deresute and mirishita (and Live on Stage) are not that bad of games, sure, they don't have a big story mode like the main games, but those small commus are not that bad and I#M sure they would make more money with the sales of gacha currency

I prefer the REM@STER-B version of Aoi Tori to the original. While REM@STER versions tend to be hit-or-miss (looking at you, My Best Friend REM@STER-A), there are some really good ones. It's fun to see how different songs can work in different styles (seriously, whoever decided to make Agent Yoru o Yuku into a theme that sounds like it came out of a cheesy cowboy flick deserves a raise), and I think Aoi Tori is one of the few songs with two good REM@STERs. But the REM@STER-B version is my favorite. It reminds me of a Beatles song, almost, but I could just be confusing it with Blackbird...my mind tends to make funny associations like that. The beginning also sounds like the song "Smooth" by Carlos Santana, which is always a plus!

You guys do understand Platinum Stars was bad because it was bad, not because of some EVIL CINDERELLA GIRLS CONSPIRACY, right? Also literally no one is saying “wahhhh I didn’t want Stella Stage I wanted a CG console game” so idk where you’re gettinng that utter falsehood from

This is the “unpopular opinion” thread but a better title would be the “complete misinformation” thread lol

CG conspiracy never exist it is just a joke to calm one heart, jus a nature of a human. PS was bad because it was just Bandai Namco will always be Bandai Namco. About people wanting CG console game instead of OG is true if you read news from other site.

And comments like this I’ve seen a lot, included on Twitter. So yeah... talk about a “complete misinformation” thread.

PS: Just letting this clear: I don’t hate CG (I can’t hate anything imas related because I LOVE the franchise entirely with no exceptions) and I agree with you that PS was bad because it was, not because of CG, but you can’t say people in this thread is misinformed when we are just stating our opinions. Opinions =/= Facts, and as such, there can’t be any misinformation. It is just what they and I think about x thing of the franchise, and you must admit that Deresute’s popularity has brought lots of people into the fandom including people that hate 765 and only cares about CG, thus those comments about them wanting a CG game become a reality as I’ve shown you. Did Deresute itself affect 765? Heck no. Did the fandom affect it? Yes. The fandom is segregating CG (or Deresute only) from the rest of the franchise. NOT EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES TO THIS, of course, but a huge part of them do, as they either are just idol phone gamers or people that came from other idol fandoms such as Love Live (a huge part of Deresute fanbase are formal LL players who migrated to Deresute because of it being a rhythm game, not because of imas) and thus they either see the original girls as “rivals” to their loved idols because they have similar concepts or just don’t see them too different to what they already have in LL unlike CG which has a total different concept from other idol franchises in terms of cast, so they see imas as CG only (and the fact that it was the first rhythm game for phones for the franchise just makes ppl who don’t know a thing from imas’s belief of CG being the first imas title seem real. An example that backs this up is that there legit were people who thought every girl’s introduction to Deresute back when they were still adding girls to the game was “new”, as back then I saw ppl saying “omg why do they keep adding more girls if they’re gonna be unvoiced” confirming that they didn’t know anything about CG prior to Deresute, making them think imas was a new thing).

Unpopular opinion: I like Ritsuko's version of Overmaster. Yes, she strains a lot, but it has a lot of charm for me. I like that her seiyuu is able to let loose a bit. It's a rock song, and she fits it well. Besides, she screams the lyrics in I Want too.
